Facing the Covid-19 epidemic, many tourism businesses are looking for ways to manage and change ways of operation to survive amid the epidemic.
Currently, tourism businesses in Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa are in difficulties because 90% of domestic tourists have cancel tours. From now to the end of the year, even though the Covid-19 epidemic is controlled, tourism will be still difficult to recover because the last months of the year are the low season of the domestic tourism market, while the international tourist market remains closed.
The coming time is forcast to be still a challenging period for tourism businesses. Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Tourism Association determines that the optimal solution for tourism businesses is maintaining operation for revenue and having measures to ensure the safety of visitors. "Now, tourists travel in small family groups in short time instead of travelling in big groups to crowded destinations”, Pham Minh Nhut - Vice Chairman of Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Tourism Association, General Director of Hon Tam Nha Trang Sea Joint Stock Company shared.
In Khanh Hoa, some businesses have implemented a number of preferential packages for Khanh Hoa people. From the beginning of August 2020, Duyen Ha Resort launched a package for Khanh Hoa people with the price of VND1 million/night for 2 people for a hotel room and VND1.9 million/night for a one-bedroom villa (breakfast buffet included). The program has received a great favorite from the people of Khanh Hoa in recent times. Similarly, Hon Tam tourist site has also launched a tourism stimulus program for local tourists. Specifically, mud bath service package on Hon Tam Island is offered VND360,000/person for Khanh Hoa people instead of VND550,000/person as posted price. Guests who are Khanh Hoa people can stay 2 days 1 night at MerPele Hon Tam Resort with the price VND2,850,000/night/2 guests (announced price is VND3,500,000). With this resort package, in addition to the accommodation room, guests will be offered buffet breakfast, set menu lunch and dinner, mud bath and herbal bath on the island, etc.
Currently, Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Tourism Association is planning to implement a tourism stimulus program "Khanh Hoa people travel in Khanh Hoa". According to Mr. Pham Minh Nhut, the association will mobilize accommodation facilities and attractions to register preferential programs for local guests. Khanh Hoa Travel Branch of Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Tourism Association will choose to build suitable tours.
According to Nguyen Thi Le Thanh - Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Tourism, the Covid-19 situation in Khanh Hoa is being controlled quite well, so it is possible to maintain tourism activities, especially welcoming local tourists. However, tourism businesses need welcome visitors and prevent the epidemic to ensure safety for visitors and employees.
